Analysis: He’s the biggest rising star on the Kentucky Derby trail this year as he just keeps running better with each race.  However, this weekend will be his toughest test yet as he runs in the Blue Grass at Keeneland.  He was already beaten by our number one horse, McCraken, in the Sam F Davis earlier in the year, but he was closing fast in that race, so the extra distance could help him turn the tables this weekend.
